UPDATE 15 June - walk result 65km! Well done Bear!
Can Bear walk for 12 hours around a 400 metre track (137.5 laps) and make at least 55km given he has only made 15km so far? Can Bear give up beer for 6 months? Thanks to Coach G from runninggroups.com.au it may just be possible.
Did you know that 35,000 people are reported missing in Australia each year - one every 15 minutes. Can Bear raise $5,555 for Australian Missing Persons Register, a charity who raises awareness of missing people and provides support to the friends and families of the missing.
Bear's starting stats H: 6ft 4 (193cm) W: 120kg Age: 54 (55 at the time of the race) Beers: too many.
Let’s get behind him!
Update after 100 days: Still no beer, 12kg lighter and as part of the training has finished the Canberra Half Marathon.
Update with three weeks to go to the walk: Still no beer, 14kg lighter, gone from a size XXXL to XL!
The Australian Missing Persons Register was created to bring awareness of missing persons to the public. Its aim is to provide information about missing persons from every State and Territory in Australia, no matter how long they have been missing, with the ultimate aim of finding these people and bringing peace to, and possibly reuniting the families.
